If you won’t be in Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day, or aren’t planning to attend the parade in person, 6abc.com will be streaming the parade broadcast live, as well as the Adam Joseph Parade Fan Cam. 6ABC TV coverage of the parade begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at noon.

We’ve included a helpful interactive map of the parade route, and more photos, below.

The Gahanna Lincoln High School Marching Band from Ohio is not listed as a band in the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Parade’s website. I called the station and talked to someone from the website but they failed to correct the omission.

I’m interested in finding out how could I get information on a group to participate either by holding one of the balloons, or entering a float for the next 2015 parade.
